Ford F-250 F250 on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
We purchased this truck from an estate with a couple of other vehicles, it came to us with the engine removed and in a crate in the bed. The engine appears to have been professionally rebuilt, it was tagged primed/break in oil . ARP stainless fasteners were used to put everything back together, the balance of the bolts for the alternator and other accessories were in the ARP box in the crate with the engine, Looking through the penetration in the timing cover one could see what appeared to be a double roller timing chain covered in white assembly lube. Upon further inspection of the engine and deciding that it was worth installing we removed the transmission and had it rebuilt, The transmission rebuild included a heavy duty clutch pack, torque convertor, valve body, and a shift kit - the transmission is suitable for heavy towing or a heavy foot! To compliment the newly installed pair the following parts were installed new as well; Super Cooler Radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, alt ps and ac belts, a/c belt idler bearing and tensioner bearing, mechanical fuel pump, Motorcraft/Holley carburetor, fuel lines, alternator, distributor, cap, rotor, spark plug wires, 195 degree thermostat, oil and water temp sending units, PCV valve, starter, flexplate, vacuum lines, three universal joints and carrier bearing along with balancing the driveline, new dual exhaust from the manifolds to the chrome tips with a crossover tube - nice sounding low rumble, not obnoxious. It appears that the previous owner spent quite a bit of time cleaning and detailing the engine compartment, when we reinstalled the engine all of the brackets were media blasted and painted to match the rest of the meticulous work that had been completed under the hood and to the frame in the engine compartment area. I think that we finished it the way it was intended to be. The air conditioner works great, blows very cold. This truck runs out very well, the engine is smooth, quiet, and very powerful.

Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."
